| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To bslon: Thanks. There are a couple used ones I've found for around $1k, so I may bite the bullet with one of them. There was a stellar deal on a Puritan PSM-156 this morning on Audiogon but it was sold within minutes. Shucks. | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To jea48: That's great advice. Just to be clear when testing with the multimeter, do I measure the ground voltage with the circuit breaker on or off? I don't want to get fried making a bad contact. Also, assuming he did install the grounding rod i... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To rudyb: Definitely an issue with the cheap copper in rubber tubes. No radio station in my components, it resides deep inside my walls. As I've mentioned, a cheap-o PC cures my woes. Now, I'm just looking for a really good one, that's not so chea... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To lowrider57: That makes sense. Although @ $150/hr. I'd spend well over the cost of a PC for someone to test and replace the dedicated lines. For under $230, a Tripplite IT cleans almost 100% of the noise and RFI. A basic bandaid perhaps, but eff... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To mglik: Do you think their more affordable Hydra models are better than the competition? | |

| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To dvddesigner: I've owned assorted PS Audio gear over the years, and have a lot of respect for Paul McGown. The Dectet strikes me as no-nonsense, albeit skewed to the bare minimum in power conditioning. Can you tell me the differences between the... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To jea48: You're asking great questions. Unfortunately, I can't answer a single one. My home was custom built with a dedicated music room 25 years ago. The electrician was very knowledgeable and seemed to understand what went into dedicated AC lin... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To 4krowme: Thanks for the comments. Yeah, the Tripplite is based on sound principles, no pun intended. However, the execution is kinda low-rent and not aimed for the audiophile customer. I tried one in my system and it actually lowered noise to n... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To: twoleftears and grannyring: The Puritan products do seem intriguing. Certainly not inexpensive, and hard to find in the US. Buttugly, too, but it’s only a PC and will sit on the floor, so not a big deal. You might be interested in this post by... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! Thanks to all who are trying to problem-solve the source of my common problem. I really do appreciate your efforts and thoughts. However, we are straying off-topic. I have done a lot of research about everything related to power conditioning, incl... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To: millercarbon Yep, it’s RFI. No doubt it’s getting into the phono preamp, but that’s to be expected since the source is the AC outlet, or more accurately, the AC lines in my house. Taking the phono stage out of the equation doesn’t mitigate the... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To ebm: "Better than all the above by a wide margin," you say. Does that mean you've heard all the above? | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To mikelavigne: Thanks for the link. See my reply to whart. | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To erik_squires: Yep, it's a noise problem. Nope, it's not the interconnects. |
